What is the science in Computer Science?
>>9156996
it's a misnomer like jellyfish
>>9157001
Is it because they aren't fish or aren't jelly?
>>9157011
I think its because you could become some random Computer Technician though your community college and your degree would say "computer science"
Can someone help a numale figure out what I'm doing wrong in this pic? Any help would be much appreciated
op here, I accidentally fucked up on the drop down box, i already know why thats fucked
>>9156997
Do you think anyone cares?
>>9156998
its a last ditch effort, i can hope at least
In honor of Hurricane Irma, how much liquid nitrogen would you have to drop in its path to disrupt the cyclone?
About 3
>>9156914
Certainly not less than 3, that's for sure
Well, Irma is roughly about 26200000000000 gallons of cloud, So I would imagine that since its over warm water now, it would take at least a 16th of irma's volume in super cold nitrogen to disrupt it.
That's just my guess.

do you boys ever think about thinking, or are you just following you meaningless conquest to justify your life?
>think about thinking,
This doesn't have anything to do with anything else in your post.
>meaningless conquest
Nihilists were a mistake.
>justify your life?
I don't need a justification to live OP. I'm only alive because my parents decided to fuck, and nothing's been able to kill me so far. Stop projecting.
>>9156885
>thinking about thinking
knowing your own thoughts and perception of reality
>meaningless conquest to justify your life
following an arbitrary goal like, I'm gonna be the next Isaac Newton, instead of worrying about your own thoughts and well being.
basically what I'm trying to say is that most people on /sci/ is too narrow to understand themselves
>>9156919
Most people are introspective yes, it is incredibly narrowminded and pretentious to think that you are special for doing so, and for assuming that the majority of people here are not introspective.
Unsolved problems thread. Are you working on any of them, /sci/ ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unsolved_problems_in_mathematics
>>9156835
My goal is TO MAKE an unsolved problem.
>>9156837

I'm doing my PhD in solving the problem of Induction.
I am diagnosed with ADHD and Dysthimia, my mood averages lowly but not terrible, and I have issues with motivation, memory and attention.
I get prescribed drugs that work really well in doing a u-turn to these issues, although I have to cycle them because of tolerance build up (which is fine, I can still be overwhelmingly more productive than my normal state).
-
Should I continue taking these drugs?
I am prescribed Modafinil (75mg)
and 5mg of Dexamphetamine
I combine both.
>>9156775
I think it depends on the person. I myself; use modafinil 200mg because I prefer it to Adderall' s side effects. It can cause you to become dependent though
>>9157024
Have you experienced good results from your Modafinil usage?
I've never heard of Dyshtimia, but if it's not Schitzophrenia then it's not a real disease.
Hello /sci/ I'm a literal math pleb that dropped out of school when I was 16, and even before that I was usually completely lost when it came to math.
I'm currently trying to get my life on track and undo the damage that year's of neet/hikkidom have done to me, and to start I need to get a ged, and for that I need to learn math's(basic math's for starters)
I'm already familiar with Khan Academy, and for some reason Khan's voice make's me rage. (also worried about common core standards)
I'm also aware of wolfram alpha, and it's problem generator, but I'm very ware of their common core standards just like with khan academy, would that apply to all their content? or is there an option to use non common core standards?
also I'm curious about any other math problem generators or online learning resources that would help an adult get familiar with arthritic , and eventually advanced maths(advanced for someone who doesn't even know their times tables)
>>9156766
>math problem generators or online learning resources
download some textbooks http://gen.lib.rus.ec/
online classes:
https://www.coursera.org/browse/math-and-logic?languages=en
https://www.edx.org/course/?course=all&subject=Math
>>9156770
I'm looking for basic math resources.
also would you happen to have the answer to my common core question about khan academy, and more specifically wolfram alpha?

I'm very good at doing highschool math - which is, following basic pre-taught instructions to arrive at certain answers. I'm even decent at the slightly more open-ended geometry proofs, if only because I'm practiced so many of them I've developed a gut intuition as to what 'tools' to use when solving what type of problem.
But when I went to college, everything broke down.
When a professor writes a proof on the board, I GET it. I understand it, even on an intuition level (although sometimes only on an intuition level). Same goes with all those math channels on YouTube. I get what they're saying, I get how they reach all these conclusions. And yet, as soon as I'm faced with an open problem (even something as "simple" as proving root-2 is irrational) I'm completely stumped. I have no idea how to begin to approach the problem. It's almost like I like lack CREATIVITY to solve all these proofs.
How do I stop being such a brainlet?
You kind off answered your own question, you need more CREATIVITY
I had the same experience OP. The only advice I can give you is practice solving/proving theorems
>How do I stop being such a brainlet?
Practice. It's the only way anyone learns that shit. Get your favorite textbook of math that defeats you, and to all the exercises. Yes, all.
I need a M.D. to help. I went to the near by medical office and they gave me a nurse practitioner. I need to know what this is

Hey, how do the molecules that make up hipsters stay together?
Through ironic bonding

Shouldn't it be ionic bonding?
What is the difference between a math major and a large pizza?
The pizza can feed a family of four.
my head is now full of fuck.
help me understand this nerd?
>>9156587
existing + suffering = 0
>>9156587
At any given time half of everything is alive, half of it is dead
>>9156591
but existing = suffering
so 2*existing = 0
then existing = 0
I know it's an incredibly stupid question but can the hydrogen bomb Kim Jong detonated a few days ago have something to do with the 8.1 magnitude earthquake in Mexico ? It's the other side of the world but the explosion did cause 6.3 magintude earthquake in Punggye-ri testing site.
It would be a real stretch considering the reason earthquakes happen is because of tectonic plates shifting and also that much, MUCH larger bombs have been detonated with no real effects related to earthquakes, especially on the other side of the world
>>9156581
Let's just say, no you fucking retard.
>>9156739
Actually the OP's question is not at all retarded. It's ignorant. There is a difference.
t. not the OP and you can satisfy yourself on that point by checking the poster count after this post is posted
how rare is this actually, /sci/?
Very common when DRUMPF is the president.
Fuck DRUMPF. Fuck white "people".
Common, it's just been a while since they developed at the exact right latitude to effect the US

Thinking of switching over to a geology degree. I like the outdoors, decent median pay, and in oil and gas you can make a nice amount.
thoughts or experiences with GEO?
nowadays its merged with other fields as one called earth science. It'd be dank if you take chem as a minor
>>9156515
Like travelling like, able to insert travelling into your studies with good persuasion?
>>9156525
>. It'd be dank if you take chem as a minor
I was average at chem in HS.
